Monsters & Machines Inspired Display

Come visit our newest display in Dimond Library near the main entrance. The display highlights British Literature III: Monsters and Machines, an online summer course taught by professor James Krasner.

The Monsters and Machines course material has a strong connection to our library collection. The library display features the main books explored in the class (Dracula, Frankenstein, Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde), as well as movies (Alien, 28 Days Later).

Many secondary sources that focus on monsters and culture were are also added in this display, including items from our Special Collections and Multimedia Center, as well as books in print and electronic format.
